Green hydrogen

Canada needs a well-thought-out plan to ensure that only hydrogen projects that work for our environment, our economy and our people are developed.

Gas giant Enbridge is receiving millions of dollars of new federal funding to help build Canada’s hydrogen economy - a "slap in the face" for some.

The federal government bet billions on a global hydrogen revolution to secure Canada's place in this emerging sector, but in April it quietly noted the expected market to be worth just 16% of its 2020 estimate.

Green hydrogen can help transform chemical production and decarbonize this high-emissions sector.

How “green” can hydrogen be and how can it fit into Nova Scotia’s energy future?

Hydrogen production is touted by the Canadian government and others around the world as a clean alternative to fossil fuel use, but climate-impact assessments are vulnerable to miscalculations, according to new research by the Environmental Defense Fund.

If ambitious regulations are put in place, a net-zero electricity grid will be within reach by 2035, with massive benefits for human health.

On the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, energy transition is clearly ramping up, but political polarization in Canada is creating conditions that threaten to impede progress.

Canada's push for a zero-emission electricity grid will get a significant funding boost in the federal budget on March 28, 2023, including with new tax credits expected to encourage the development of renewable power sources like wind and solar.

The majority of developing nations are set to miss out on the economic benefits of booming green technologies, slowing progress toward their climate goals and widening the inequality gap between rich and poor countries, a United Nations report warned on Thursday.

With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe’s future leader in green hydrogen production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy sector experts express caution over ramping up an industry that would be wholly reliant on massive increases in the availability of zero-carbon electricity.

The federal government plans to introduce a tax credit for clean hydrogen investments in Budget 2023, but academics and some civil society groups say there’s a risk it could end up subsidizing fossil fuels if it’s not done right.

Canada faces a choice — and an opportunity — to cement climate-aligned trade relationships that will facilitate sustainable growth and prosperity, write Clean Energy Canada's Trevor Melanson and Oliver Sheldrick.

Allegations of patronage and a cozy relationship between a billionaire and a Canadian premier are threatening to upend a multibillion-dollar green energy project.

The Nova Scotia government is updating its air quality regulations as the province conducts an environmental assessment for one of its first green hydrogen and ammonia projects.
